The Parish Church of Boconnoc
During the Second World War, Boconnoc House and the surrounding buildings were occupied by American troops and the grounds used as an ammunition dump in preparation for the invasion of Europe. In the grounds, which are said to be the largest park in Cornwall, is the little parish church of Boconnoc, of which the dedication is unknown, but was thought to have been consecrated in 1413. The church, level to the roof of the 18th century Boconnoc House is cut into the bedrock of the hill and looks over the house and down to the glorious, rolling parkland and lake in the valley. Inside the 15th century walls is a peaceful silence to the small intimate church, restored in 1873. That year Mr Cyril Fortescue the owner of Boconnoc was listed in the top ten landowners in Cornwall with an estate of 20,148 acres (81.54 km2), or 2.65% of Cornwall
